What occurs when a new authentication provider of the same type is added in Relativity?

When a new authentication provider of the same type is added in Relativity, it overwrites the existing providers of that type. This behavior is designed to ensure that only one active provider of each type is available at any given time. This means that if you add a new provider, it effectively replaces the previous one, which is critical for maintaining a clear and unambiguous authentication structure within the system.

This ensures that any configurations, settings, or functionalities that were previously tied to the overwritten provider are no longer in effect, and administrators need to be conscious of this behavior when managing authentication settings. As a result, making changes to authentication providers requires careful consideration and planning to prevent unintended disruptions in access or functionality.
